Introduction to World Religions

The session introduces the topic of world religions and belief systems, specifically focusing on the origins of these religions. It aims to analyze the interconnectedness of geography, culture, and religion. The lesson is designed for week two of the third quarter.

Review Questions

A matching type review is conducted to test the audience's understanding of previous lessons. Questions cover concepts such as monotheism, agnosticism, worldview, and atheism. The correct answers are provided and explained to reinforce understanding.

Origins of World Religions

World religions are divided into three major parts: Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), Dharmic religions (Buddhism), and those influenced by Chinese civilizations. Dharmic religions emphasize duties and responsibilities.

Historical Conditions: Abrahamic Religions

The historical conditions of Abrahamic religions are discussed, tracing their origins back to the patriarch Abraham. Abraham is considered the father of these nations, who made a covenant with God. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are further dissected into denominations such as Sunni and Shiite Muslims. Christianity has three main sections: Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy.

Historical Conditions: Dharmic Religions

The geographical context of Dharmic religions, specifically Hinduism and Buddhism, is explored, noting their origins in regions that were home to ancient civilizations like the Harappan and Mohenjo-daro. The influence of the Aryans or Indo-Europeans is also mentioned.

Historical Conditions: Taoist Religions

Taoist religions are highly influenced by Chinese civilizations, which were established around four thousand years ago. These religions believe in traditions and practices from that era.

Geographical Influences

The lesson reviews geographical influences on religion, such as the origin of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in West Asia. The Ganges River is identified as the holiest river for Hindus and Buddhists. The influence of river valleys on the establishment of belief systems is highlighted.

Cultural Traditions and Religious Classifications

Cultural tradition is defined as the setting or environment in which one lives, including social and cultural aspects. Religions are classified as exclusive or non-exclusive, with examples such as monotheistic religions being exclusive and Hinduism and Buddhism being non-exclusive due to their association with multiple gods (polytheism). Universalizing religions, like Christianity and Islam, aim to operate on a global scale, while ethnic religions are tied to specific groups of people and localities.

Summary and Closing Remarks

The session concludes with an activity where viewers are asked to summarize the concepts learned using specific words. It emphasizes that religions are born in history and evolve into living traditions that affect the lives of their followers. Religion helps people make sense of the world and provides hope. The next session will discuss the positive and negative effects of religions.

9:13 that is related to your belief so i hope you scored right now at um for for last last week's discussion so now let's proceed with our topic for today which is the origins of world religion world religions is basically divided into three major

9:59 parts which is ibrahimovic of the religion so that is judaism christianity and islam okay and number two dharmic religions religions such as buddhism because the root word is dharma they believe in a certain fact that every individual has duties or responsibilities [Music]

11:12 foreign or it talks about young social and cultural aspects that they have established for their lives

12:01 so let's proceed first with our historic conditions so for for the abrahamic religions we have of course their father which is uh petraeus ibrahim uh for christians we can read it on our bibles for the even for the most asian countries china korea japan and all those things for all those religions or countries okay so let's begin with the patriarch abraham okay so i have here

12:49 a picture that says the graph or the organizer that simplified ibraham religions right so abraham we can read him on our bible he can see us that if uh the one who made covenant with god in genesis 15 that was from there um and who actually believe in one god that

13:35 made him the father of all the nations with god the father right yes abraham and um

14:37 [Music] and islam further on were dissected into uh denominations such as sunni islam i mean sunni muslims and the shiite muslims fair further angie discuss not technology islam that was going back to abraham his uh first son talaga nahanga and jacob later on was renamed to israel

15:23 and that's the very reason and then here comes christianity which is also jesus as the messiah or as the living god uh is part of that descendants abraham okay so we'll further discuss that as we move on with christianity christianity now as it's very religion has three main sections or denominations or sects we have roman catholicism protestantism in the eastern orthodoxy uh

16:11 [Music] is abraham as the first person who believe in one god i am the father of this geographically uh it became a house or a place for many civilizations such as the harappan and the mohenjo-daron civilizations and then later on with the influence of the aryans or the indo-europeans

16:57 northern north eastern part nato and north western partners right but for the sake of our discussion for world religions is hinduism and buddhism because it has the majority of the believers in the world okay so and then lastly for our historical foundation we have the way of the dao and this religion i mean this group of religions the taoist religions are highly influenced by the chinese civilizations so as we probably know or it is

17:42 [Music] a civilization so they were established around four thousand years ago and uh believe in traditions and practices from there okay so now that's his dice real background i know it's it might be so short but for the sake of our limited time historical foundations now it's let's see if you know these questions or an answer for these questions number one in what region of asia do judaism christianity and islam originated

18:29 but anyway uh is it letter a east b north c south or the west so as you probably know that is a west asia okay so if you uh if you're facing with your monitor now listening to me so imagine this is isha and your um abrahamic religion originated somewhere here in this parts of israel so asia is

19:18 is uh circling around israel because this is where uh judaism christianity originated while on the other hand you can call redna manhattan is islam refers to islam encircled in saudi arabia because it is where it was originally started high with muhammad as uh the founder the prophet or final prophet this one what is the holy river is it lady is it mohenjo

20:04 that what do you think is the correct answer is actually letter so it is considered as the holiest river angle actually for the hindus but also for other religions such as buddhism okay and basically this is the name this is the formula religions

20:58 um the reality of life that they're in uh they started to create beefs and practices that is associated with their religions okay so somehow and gandhi's river is [Music]

21:57 and then we have for number three what do you call the land blocked salt lake between israel and jordan that is often mentioned in the bible right what's the answer please

22:44 [Music] foreign [Music] uh

23:39 and then number four what culture practically influence ancient korea in the east asia is it letter h chinese european c indian or letter d mongolians again what culture influence ancient japan and korea in the east asia is it letter e chinese be european c indian be mongolians okay

24:34 it's already been the chinese who influenced many of the ancient japanese or korean practices and beliefs right so again origins [Music] it is highly influenced by the river valleys established the very reason they establish their own set of uh belief belief system

25:19 wherein they can adapt and they can make meaning of life so they establish their dynasties the sun and the zoo and later on later on such as the han dynasty early civilizations [Music] were actually influenced by the chinese uh philosophers or chinese um leaders or government officials right so it is within this context the great teacher confucius became fascinated with ethical questions and morality

26:06 and government affairs right so the hill magulo during this their time because of wars and famines and all the things that they cannot actually explain they cannot make meaning of encouraging confucianism

27:04 so what's the answer for this which among the following religion is not a non-exclusive religion that letter a buddhism be christianity c confucianism the correct answer for this is actually letter sleep talk

27:49 about what we call the cultural tradition it is defined as the setting or the environment lives including social and cultural it from observing and then from the thing that the environment is cultural social and cultural aspects okay so we have exclusive versus non-exclusive

28:35 type of cultural menus okay then in nature examples of this are hinduism buddhism and because god can be so powerful

29:22 and so great then they associated him with other smaller gods so that's polytheism or the non-exclusive religions okay so aside from exclusive and then versus the non-exclusive religions we also have what we call the universe universalizing religions and the ethnic religions what do we mean by that university religions these are religions that attempt to operate on a global scale right bixby and they want to establish a religion that is not just simply their culture or further practices but purpose is to uh to let it

30:18 so they are not simply not linked to a certain nation but globally they are accepting that is examples nothing and a christianity with the same islam yes to attract other people for them to follow their religion okay so that's universalizing right and then lastly we have uh ethnic religions once we say ethnic

31:03 religious demand these are religions that rose members from specific group of people from a definite low quality with most of its practices and it was performed continuously throughout the generations right so from the word ethnic and [Music] in

32:15 a specific group of people okay and then lastly to end our discussion let's try this activity so it's just a word i have a group of words here on the box below and what you're going to do is to use one of the words below to make a summary of the concepts you have learned today okay so we have this words yeah we have abraham monotheism we have west asia dharmic universalizing religion origin and ethnic so these are the words that you can use to make a summary of the lessons you learned from the date

34:36 let's just remember to summarize the things that we'll discuss today religions are born in history and they gradually develop into living traditions and affect the lives of their followers right so religion for the sake of having it but for the sake of allah so it was developed and been adapted used and you can say abused as well by other people throughout history and it was developed

35:23 and incorporated to the cultures and traditions of people that it makes it uh close to their heart time but the idea of having a god in which they believe and they cling on to whatever happens in their life then that's basically what religion is about and even so today but most of the people cling into also us they're buckling into religions to to make sense of the world that we have now specifically or because

36:10 but religions help help us in a way to define or at least give us comfort on the things that we cannot understand right so religion gives hope so that's the very reason we have to have this one right to give us hope on so with that these are my references you can refer to this later on if you want to further your reading or further your studying on our topic because it's an interesting topic to cover our subjects to cover so by next week what we're going to do is to discuss our modules and worksheets for week 3 the positive
